Repair prices are going to vary pretty drastically depending on where you take them for service, what the symptom(s) are, and what the root cause of the symptom(s) ends up being. Roland ...

Re: months pt1 - andy ongulous

(1) Loved getting dragged along by the beat then suddenly bunched up and waiting for it to catch up.

(2) Excellent use of bending without overusing it. When it ended I wanted it to go full bad trip and nightmarish.

(3) See (1)

(6) Hell yeah, this is the nightmare music I was looking for!

Re: Replacing Glitchy Knobs

Are you referring to the post where I mentioned messaging me if someone needed the pot? I wasn't suggesting that I was selling them if that's the case.

Re: Dead pads

Nobody ever takes my advice... I would get the caikote

Kel - as you can see the people responding didn't take the time to read anyone's advice.

I have always used the graphite and recommended the graphite because if the pads are not fully cleaned (any remaining oil residue) the caikote will ...

Re: sp404sx repair advice?

I'm guessing that the linked pots will probably work, but it's worth noting that they are not actually spare parts as the original pots were manufactured by ALPS and the pictured pots are not. They're also missing the "sleeve" which can impact long-term reliability since it provides additional ...

Re: Replacing Glitchy Knobs

I've done a ton of pot replacements on various models, mostly the SP-404, and it's always worth cleaning the pot out first using something like DeOxit D5 from CAIG Laboratories. In many cases issues can be resolved just by cleaning the pot and D5 also will help prevent future build-up in the pot ...
